Could this be a future MG model? Our spies have caught this mystery mule testing and there are a couple of clues that suggest it belongs to MG’s Chinese parent company, Roewe.

First of all, the wheels are similar to those we’ve seen before on a Roewe 450 prototype and then there’s the trapezoidal shape badge that can be seen through the camouflage on the bonnet.

Still, even if this is a Roewe mule there’s no guarantee that it will ever make it to UK roads– MG bosses have never mentioned a CUV-sized vehicle in their product line-up.

Let us know what you think: is this a future Roewe model or is it something entirely different? Would you welcome an MG-badged SUV?

Wheels are similar to Roewe but not the same. This page has a picture of it on the same wheels:

The Luxgen website names Mira and Prodrive as development partners so it's probably just here for testing before launch:
